carries around her trophies Bcrnhardt

has steel-lined receptacle But .Ianau-
schek dumps hers all together, with an
occasional bit OF paper wrapped around
some particular gem, into the old, un-
painted box that Les wooden handle on
top. This is always carried by dragon
of a maid. But dragons are sometimes
careless, and once, in Western barn of
a station, waiting for a train, JanaushelS
strayed out for paper and tho maid
wandered of for something else, and
when they met in the ladies' room both
stared aghast for neither had the pre-
cious box, and each had supposed the
other was taking care of it, Everything
was at fever heat when Dennis, whose
